Even More Reasons - m.c

Chapter 31

"Let me live, Shay. Let me live."

Shay's P.O.V

"Michael we've already listened to this song three times." I told him as we were driving back into N.Y.C. "Don't you have other songs you want to play?"

"I can't help it. I've been on a Bruno Mars kick again. You have to love Grenade. How could you not?"

"I do like it but not after four times in less than two hours."

"Well I don't know about you but I'm fine with that." He joked as he sat back in the passenger seat, put his feet up on the dashboard & ate the cookies beside him. "I'm chilling, this is nice."

"Well I'm driving with the worst passenger DJ ever."

"Excuse me. I am not the worst DJ. I am just in a Bruno Mars mood. He's all about love and living life and being a little dirty about it all. I can relate."

"Well last night you were calling yourself Beyonce, you apparently related to her too."

"I can put on some Queen B."

"Thank you."

"Of course."

So for the next two hours, I had Michael beside me singing Beyonce and I didn't mind one bit. It was actually kind of perfect. 

Once back in the city, I drove us to my parent's place.

Not only did my parents simply want to see Michael since they loved him but since I had been staying by my parents for the past month, I had to get my things & bring them back to my own place since I was ready to get back to my own spot.

"Michael!" My mom shouted once the door opened. "Oh come here, sweetheart. We missed you so much! How are you?"

"Hey Mrs. Parker. Great to see you again."

"Thank you so much for taking care of my baby. Shay is so happy to be back with you."

"Mom." I rolled my eyes. "Stop."

"Sorry, sorry. But I knew he was the love of your life so I am so happy you're back together. I'm very happy to see you again, Michael. That's all."

"Well how about you & Michael catch up while I go pack."

"Awh, I'm sad to see you go." My mom said. "It has been nice having you back home again."

"Can't live at home forever." I joked as I went to walk to my room. "It shouldn't take long, you two catch up."

I went into my room & I packed up a few bags of the clothes I had here, some of my toiletries & that was basically it.

When I went back, I saw my dad sitting on the couch with Michael.

"Uh, dad!" I pretended to be offended. "You didn't even say you were home or come find me to say hi?!"

"Sorry, I walked in & I saw Michael. I wanted to say hi to him. But hi sweetie." He then got up to give me a hug. "How was touring with Michael?"

"Great. It was really fun."

"Your mom & I don't want you to move back to your place."

"But I'm paying rent there so I might as well live there."

"True. But visit often, okay?"

"Dad, I'm still in the city. I'll visit."

"Good."

After I let my parents get their fix with Michael which included us staying for dinner, I drove us over to my apartment. We had it scheduled so someone from the car rental company would come pick up the car at my address. It was a nice system.
